INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting:
All strips are cut across the width of fabric unless otherwise stated.
From each of the 12 fabrics cut 4 x 10-inch squares (25cm).
Backing fabric 1.5m x 1.9m plus extra for 5 x 2 1/2" strips for binding.
Step 1 - From the 10" squares cut each square at 6.5", now you have two strips: a 3.5" and a 6.5".
Step 2 - Join 1 of each 3.5" piece to a 6.5" piece alternating fabrics randomly.
Step 3 - Now cut your blocks in half, that's at 5". (5" x 9.5")
Step 4 - Flip your stacks and sew them back together again, with the smaller strips on opposite ends. Your blocks should finish at 9.5". Arrange by alternating vertically and horizontally.
Step 5 - Arrange the blocks into 8 rows with 6 squares in each row, alternating the direction of the blocks as in diagram.
Step 6 - When happy with the arrangement sew blocks together in rows pressing seams in one direction alternating the direction in each row.
Step 7 - Pin and sew the rows together matching seams. Press seams in one direction.
Step 8 - Layer the backing, batting and quilt top and baste together. Trim off excess fabric and batting all the way around quilt. Quilt as desired.
Step 9 - Join the 5x 2 1/2" binding strips together to make one long strip to go around all edges of quilt. Press in half lengthwise and bind to quilt, mitering at the corners.
